Many people worked very hard in the month following September 11th, 2001 to make a historic collection of TVnews available. This was lauched at the First Amendment Center outside of Washington DC on October 11th, 2001. Unfortunately 2 years later it was taken down in a datacenter move.
The Internet Archive, working pro-bono for the Television Archive, has brought much of it back up here.
Some of these material is not available anywhere else.
Please comment on how you have been able to make use of this resource, and what would help you further, so that future collections can become better able to aid research and education.

I have contacted the BBC requesting the coverage under FOI, but they have refused saying that the archived broadcast it is for their research purposes only.
FOI requests can be made via https://www.bbc.co.uk/foi/

Also, does anybody know why the 9/11 16:51 to 17:33 ABC 7 segment is missing?

Thank you for all the great stuff on Archive.org!!
Some years ago, when the archive posted a downloadable version of the human genome, I was one of the first persons to download it. I’m not a mad scientist, I have no purpose for it, I don’t even really understand it. A huge text file spanning many disks with combinations of only four letters. What struck me is that if enough people had copies of it, the potential for its abuse could be minimized because it could always be re-mirrored into the public domain. Maybe a waste of disks, but what a conversation piece!
After the Septemeber 11 attacks, President Bush told Americans to remain vigilant. I wonder what could be more vigilant than studying the unedited footage of the attacks as they happened? Although the copyright ownership of the footage does belong to the respective networks, the message sent out by our President should have indicated enough common sense that the historical significance of these events should absolutely outweigh any private motives for profit. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but that by itself promotes suspicion, without looking at any other external facts. Why should such a thing ever be removed from public access?
After viewing the few files I did get, I noticed that Ross department stores had an advertisement for “fashion 9-1-1” about a minute before NBC started their first news report about the attacks. That is a weird coincidence, but that’s about all I got out of it.

I have one question though. I downloaded a 1 gig good quality version of the first CNN coverage here some months back. this was when you only had a few clips of the news coverage. Now, it appears all I can get is streaming. I assume it was changed due to copyright reasons?
It's a shame, I was really looking forward to getting the first two hours of coverage from a few networks in dvd-quality video so I could burn a dvd for each network. I guess I'll just have to be content with watching it on my computer in a smaller resolution.
